The 2014 Cédric Bouchard Champagne Roses de Jeanne Presle is a highly sought-after Blanc de Noirs, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir. Cédric Bouchard is renowned for his revolutionary philosophy in Champagne, focusing on single vineyards, single varietals, and single vintages with minimal intervention. This particular cuvée originates from a west-facing 0.25-hectare parcel in Celles-sur-Ource, Aube, planted with ten different massal selections of Pinot Noir chosen for low yields and high concentration. Production is extremely limited, contributing to its scarcity and high demand among collectors. On the nose, the 2014 Presle offers lovely aromas of white currant, peach, clear honey, white flowers, and citrus oil, with smoky and sapid nuances developing in the glass. The palate is full-bodied, fleshy, and textural, showcasing lively acids, abundant dry extract, and terrific concentration, leading to a sapid, mouthwatering finish. Reviewers have also noted white orchard fruit, mint, crushed white flowers, small red berries, and hints of smoke and earthiness. It's described as focused and chiseled, benefiting from a few years to soften. Community notes highlight its balance, purity, freshness, fine bubbles, and a very agreeable texture, with hints of red fruit, orchard fruit, and brioche. Some even describe it as having power without weight, with spirited, lively, wild, and natural fruit in perfect balance. 【Single vineyard, single varietal, single vintage, low yield, low pressure, zero dosage approach, making it a pure expression of terroir.】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This exquisite Champagne pairs beautifully with shellfish, crab, lobster, and is particularly amazing with caviar. It also complements the lighter courses of a seafood tasting menu. 🥂 Event suggestions: Ideal for special celebrations, intimate gatherings, or as a contemplative wine for serious collectors. Its rarity and unique, terroir-driven style make it a truly memorable experience and a conversation starter.
